RBA Design won the bronze medal at the 2021 edition of Pentawards, the most important international award for packaging design, in the ‘Sustainable Beverages’ category.
The awards were presented on September 30 to the works that had entered the shortlist. The winning project is the one related to the new packaging design of the natural wine Saturnalia rosso 2019 produced by Fattoria La Maliosa, a Maramì agricultural company that has always been committed to the principles of environmental sustainability.
To characterize the identity of this natural wine, RBA design created a “talking label” that tells the story of the production process of the La Maliosa natural wines according to the Corino Method. Another important feature of this design project is the use of blockchain technology, which allows the consumer to quickly read all the key information about the product, from cultivation to fermentation in the cellar, to data on the carbon footprint.
On the label of the Saturnalia wine, the 8 principles of the Metodo guide the consumer through the essential principles of natural wine production, thanks to a contemporary, clear and engaging graphic design.

The creative direction of the project is by Nicola Mincione; Senior Designer Gianandrea Gregis; Designer Margherita Niada.

A special thanks goes to Lorenzo Corino and the partners who made the project possible: Upm Raflatac, MGA – Milano Global Advisors, Amorim Cork Italia, Eurostampa, Roedl & Partners, Indaco 2 and to all Fattoria La Maliosa those who contribute to a more sustainable world.
